ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the premise or schema that the industrializing process produces designative social effects, whether they be general and complex in nature, or particular and simple. It reviews forcibly that both explanation and research rest on the premise that industrialization produces specific social effects. Industrialization may bring about pronounced ecological rearrangements of people. The location of the new industrial establishments sets the residences of workers and their families and of the people manning the businesses that serve the industrial plants and the working population. The industrializing process does not produce or control the outside world; it is not responsible for the demands and opportunities that the outside world thrusts on the interest groups. By virtue of the impetus that the industrializing process imparts to monetary and contractual relations, it must be recognized as an important agent of social change. The use of industrial income is an important source of social change.
